Eddie Trunk: "By all accounts, there's definitely stuff in motion"

[norway]

Norway, what would you consider circumstantial evidence as opposed to factual evidence that a reunion might happen?

It always 'might happen'. I can't argue that.  

Some people hope and wish so hard that they make up stuff.

Dj's leaving was pretty much out of the blue.

For u yeah.

I estimated him and ron would go at a point, like Buckethead, due to their soloefforts.

As long as we don't know who Eddie's source is, it's impossible to conclude on the credibility of his information.

What exactly are you refering to? When he says 'venues are at hold' and then he himself connect it to a reunion-theory?

1: Nothing factual nor circumstantial suggest a reunion is on the horizon. It's all speculation/wishfull thinking at this point.
2. Tommy is still in the band
3: Modern gnr will release a new album
4: Slash will release a solo album and tour that
5: Someone thinks Axl is fat but it is, as a matter of fact unhealthy, to be thin at Axl's age.
6: Fernando (inside source) has said something cool will happen soon and Richard that 2016 will be an amazing year.
7: Emily is Ri Chun-hee
8: Nothing new to c here getting sum coffee, tnx bai

9: Eddie is promoting himself in a lame manner.

Thx for clarifications I see there still are different views on what is going on/will happen in the future of the band here. Guess we just have to wait to find out...

I don't know if you're referring to me, but I don't think I've "concluded" that a reunion is happening based on this.

No I wasn't. I just explained why I understand that some people come to the conclusion.
I also pointed out why I think things aren't just that easy. Or at least why they might not be just that easy.

Dj's leaving was pretty much out of the blue. The most enthusiastic new member just leaves the band to pursue a career in another band not even half as known as GNR. I think this was the strangest of all the departures.

I don't think the popularity was an issue.
I mean, nobody that left GN'R went to join a more popular band. Or even equal.

NIN is quite big I think. Not bigger than GNR, but the gap is much smaller than with Sixx AM.

I don't know his source.
But haven't we heard this before?

Haven't promoters been offering GN'R money for a reunion in the past?

Eddie didn't specifically say his source was a promoter. It's likely yes, but that's also speculation.

/jarmo

I agree with that.

I just get carried away with speculation because I think it's a fun way to pass the time. Deep down I have a rational view point, and understand how small the chances really are, even if it might not come off that way always.

I can just remember the constant hunt for information in the 2003-2006 period, a dark period yes, but still fun times on the forums.

Buckethead is bigger than modern gnr I think. DJ is also very sizeable, bigger than the not-axl members, but his peers are what gnr stood out from it seems. We'll see about Bumble.

I'm just passing on his words, but he specifically said there were talks of shows with the Appetite line-up, but also other band members. Didn't seem like he made the connect, but that was what he was told.

/jarmo

When you say GN'R you mean Axl right? Slash said he's never been offered any money for a reunion.

[norway]

To sum up, we know practically nothing about what the future holds for GNR..    

Dizzy: Probably next year
Axl: New music soon
Tommy: I'll be back
Fernando: Announcement soon
Richard: 2016 is the year
Slash: Gonna go solo for a while nao, bai


It is, given these cirumstances, highly illogical to think a reunion is imminent, imo.

[Annie]

I apologize to Jarmo and anyone who took offense to any of my posts.  It was not my intention to go off topic.  My problem with people like Eddie Trunk and Marc Canter is that they use Axl and GNR to promote themselves and their own business interests. They have no real insider or official information.   In the age of the Internet their half truths and speculations just lead to more misinformation being spread about Axl and GNR.

Get a life

You know what. Police love nurses.  I was also recently told by an extremely arrogant world renowned plastic surgeon that I was beautiful.  So for the people who think that I am a creepy stalker  and that the police should have been contacted for dropping off a book with a non threatening smart ass comment , they would take my side and laugh their asses off

When Axl say new music soon? And when did Tommy say I'll be back?

DISCLAIMER: I'm not a "reunionist", just holds all possibilities open.


Dizzy: Did he specifically say the new line-up will be out next year?

Axl: Hopefully that's true. It might also be possible to combine that with any sort of reunion tour.

Tommy: Did he say "he will be back" or that he will strongly consider it? If he's back, could he be one of the "newer players" that would be a part of the shows as Eddie hinted at?

Fernando: He hasn't specified what the news will be. Could it be a reunion?

Richard: Could he be one of the "newer players" that would be a part of the shows as Eddie hinted at?

Slash: If he is 100% committed to his solo career, I agree he isn't part of any reunion. But, it could be possible for him to work a new album for the first part of the year and then join GNR. In the same interview, he declined to comment on reunion rumors... why not shoot it down?



I'm not believing any of the above any more than Axl finding two new guitar players, releases CD 2 and tours that with a brand new line-up. Well, maybe the latter is a bit more realistic.  

[norway]

When Axl say new music soon? And when did Tommy say I'll be back?

I paraphrased, here's the exact quotes with sources:

Rose said that he did not have a timeline for when the albums would come out, but he did intend to address it after Guns N' Roses conclude its residency at Las Vegas' Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. (The group's final show is scheduled for June 7th.) "We're going to start looking very seriously at what we're doing," Rose said in regard to a release plan.

 ?I didn?t quit the gig or walk away from it. We just all sort of left it in Vegas.?

?If they got [the modern lineup] together again and wanted me to play, of course I?d have to think about it.?

It's not the same as "I'll be back".

It's positive I agree with that, but the statement doesn't give an impression of certainty.

I don't see him saying I'll be back. And Axl's been holding onto that for so long who knows if it ever sees the light of day....

[norway]

Ok, I'll bite.

DISCLAIMER: I'm not a "reunionist", just holds all possibilities open.

All possibilities? I think Justin Bieber is joining so.

Disclaimer: I would see a reunited band and I am less hyped about modern gnr than I was in 99-02 era.

Dizzy: Did he specifically say the new line-up will be out next year?

He didn't have to. It is obvious he was talking about modern gnr.

Axl: Hopefully that's true. It might also be possible to combine that with any sort of reunion tour.

Well duh it is possible. It is likely? How many times does he have to say no?


Guns is my life, not someone else's. For me there hasn't been a way to make any type of reunion work regardless of money (either talk or legitimate) without jeopardizing what I feel is the well-being and best interests of nearly everyone I'm involved with in the GNR camp (including myself). People here have big investments of their lives in what we're doing. We've worked hard for what we have here now and continue to do so. I know what I went thru then. I know what I and all of us have gone thru since. People enjoyed the product and the entertainment our lives gave them back in the day, but they weren't the ones actually living those lives together. It's not somewhere I'd go back to or would want to go again. Life's too short.

Not in this lifetime.

Give me a fucking break.

Tommy: Did he say "he will be back" or that he will strongly consider it? If he's back, could he be one of the "newer players" that would be a part of the shows as Eddie hinted at?

Fernando: He hasn't specified what the news will be. Could it be a reunion?

Richard: Could he be one of the "newer players" that would be a part of the shows as Eddie hinted at?

You know what, fuck this

Slash: If he is 100% committed to his solo career, I agree he isn't part of any reunion. But, it could be possible for him to work a new album for the first part of the year and then join GNR. In the same interview, he declined to comment on reunion rumors... why not shoot it down?

Shoot it down... again. Why?

I'm not believing any of the above any more than Axl finding two new guitar players, releases CD 2 and tours that with a brand new line-up.

Well, maybe the latter is a bit more realistic.

 

mhm

It's not the same as "I'll be back".

I read Tommy as 'hasn't quit, will most likely be back' when he adress gnr-question while promoting himself.

Remember this interview with Fortus?

Axl Rose has turned down ?outrageous? offers to reunite the original Guns N? Roses line-up, according to bassist Richard Fortus. The frontman is now the only original member of the group following the departure of stars including Slash, Duff McKagan and Steven Adler, and current bandmember Fortus reveals big money offers have recently been touted to get the musicians back together.
However, Fortus is adamant Rose has snubbed all the lucrative deals because he cares more about his ?art? than a money-spinning tour.
Speaking on the One On One With Mitch Lafon podcast, Fortus explains, ?It?s just about the music ? that?s all he cares about. I?ve worked with a lot of people in this business, and I?ve never seen, or met, anybody that was motivated purely by that ? by the desire to make art. And you can say whatever you want about it? but he is that, and that?s for sure. Otherwise, there would have been a reunion because the offers for money have been outrageous. But he would never do a reunion unless it was for something besides money.?
